Meet Qua Thomas

We had the good fortune of connecting with Qua Thomas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Qua, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
As I take this deep breath*. I am currently in the midst of taking several risk all at once! As safe as we want to live life, sometimes our next stage of life as far as our dreams and life’s purpose is found in that very risk that appears oh so scary! For me that looks like, parting ways with jobs, people, mentalities, beliefs, opinions, and even my apartment. Yep! I have left my apartment with no further plan and eventually I moved into a homeless shelter. We hear this often, but there is truly a reality of Joy that lives inside of us that no circumstance can break. Pure joy came into this world with Jesus Christ, and as we accept Him into our hearts, He gives us joy in every battle and situation we can face here on earth. Plus we know that although risk can appear crazy, scary, or stupid, Our Great Lord shall reward us for the faith that we have in him. Even if we have made bad or the wrong choices! Risk taking has led me here today! I say this because everything that I dream and see in my mind has been challenged by the world. I have been told “I am not, I can not, and I will not” be all that I know I already am. I took a risk to keep going and so I AM HERE, I AM NOW!

I am also a soon to be Published author! I am a writer, artist, and creative.

I am so proud of all of my works because my works come from a personal journey, experience, literal training of my mind, heart, and hands to do all that I have done. I got to where I am professionally, by never giving up on myself and seeing the very things that I have battled and defeated or even things that battle with today; haunt, harm, and torment others as well. God stood beside me when I felt alone and deserted by others, and then He opened up my eyes and heart to see all that I needed to help me to continue to pursue Him! This was and still is the hardest things that I do daily. But also, I am just easily ME. The more I wake up and remain who I am, the more I could never give up and stop and turn away from these things. I speak like this, I walk like this, I live This!

Some lessons I have learned is that the aches of life often mean something. Lean into what aches. Don’t try to hold on to dead things, which are anything that is no longer producing goodness to your life, eyes, heart, or mind. This is also the challenge.

I want the world to know that all of these brands and businesses came from me doing the work in my mind, heart, and spirit with God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. So I am a faith based entrepreneur. I create to help those in need by feeding the mind, heart, and spirit, life. All of this to help others to wake up and to know that they are living for a purpose. My long term goal is to create purposeful employment to the communities that mean more to the body than food, wardrobe, money, and trending topics.

We are living life to make the world go around and to go around the world with life! Unlock Your Unique-Live Your Super Power! In Jesus Name!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If I was hanging out with my best friends for a week, we would get food to cook for each other and spend time in the kitchen. We would go out and do some community work (so I can see their work ethics). We would take public transportation everywhere for a day, and go to a park to have a picnic, paint, color and get mind stimulating games to pick each other’s brains and hearts! We would have so much laughter and get to the core of what actually makes us friends! What do we have in common or not! I want to see what or how do they complain, how do they remain or add positivity to theirselves, daily situations, or to the people around them. I would also pay attention to their strengths and weaknesses are, to see how I can add to them as a friend. I would suggest weird foods to eat, like octopus and then I would let them choose as well. I would really enjoy tapping into their world and allowing them into mine.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I first would love to shoutout to my momma who died in Nov 2022, in a car crash (as well as all of my parents are now passed away). Although I could allow the pain to settle in my heart from the lost of their physical presence, the more I actually remain in the truth of God and focus on the positive aspects, I realize that their spirit, words, actions, and kindness lives on with me! 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18 I encourage you to know that the Bible says that the Lord himself will come from Heaven, and with Him, the believers who died will rise from their graves. Then together with them, those who remain alive will meet The Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever!

With That being said, I would not be who I am if I didn’t shout out My Big God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit!!! For only the truth of the earth and Heaven remain with them. And with Christ I can do All things! Philippians 4:13

Now, Shout Out to my people!! My friends and family in spirit blood and human blood!! Tree AKA Treilo -My real sister, Jay AKA My Fellowship Partner and Significant other , Cheniece AKA Bookie – My behhhfrenn and sister, and Trae AKA iFinesse DFT- my brother in spirit!!!

All of these very people from my parents, God, and my circle of support have helped me to remain on fire in God, humble, and pure in my heart. I could never give up because they either depended on me or allowed me to depend on them when I least expected it. Times when I had no idea when my next meal would be, One (And ALL) of them showed up!! tTimes when I was giving up in my mind, God showed up personally or showed up through one of them!!! BIG SHOUT OUT TO THEM!!!!!!! They encouraged me, uplifted me, and saw all the potential in me from my language, to my thoughts and creations.

AMEN!
